theramdans
well, this is very personal
'ramdans' is just an abbreviated word from my last name 'ramadhana'
and the- is just a prefix
done
Kitsune-kun
Because foxes are the best, and they are super cute! >w<
Not_Zippy
This. Just this.
Kwinii_old
A lot of people misspelled my real name especially in the virtual world sooo
I just thought I'd type it as it's pronounced to make it easier for everyone then
I just added the second 'i' in there because... I'm kawaii.. like that... (*>w<*)
Boydroid
I like androids, and boydroid has a better ring to it than girldroid. that's pretty much it.
Wisakedjak
From Clive Barker's Jericho. There was Captain Xavier Jones. I regret it, want to change it but... Don't know :/
BeatofIke
My username originates back in 2008 as my personal music artist name. Beat-of-Ike was originally my music artist name (back when I made music using FL Studio in 2008). It was not until late 2009, when I started to adapt this name in the forums (KeyBeat Online) as my username.

How did I come up with this name? The first music I made in FL Studio was named "Basic Beat" (I still have the music if you want it, but it sucks XD) and Ike is basically my middle name. That's how I came up with the name Beat-of-Ike or BoI for short. Although most prefer Beat, Beato, or simply Ike as my short name.
Syphist
Many people usually guess syphilis, but I will spare you the guessing game. It came from mashing the words sapphire and fast together and changing up the vowels. It's also pronounced sigh-fist if you care about that.
Sya
from my mind. Just thought about a good username and welp kinda came up with that name.. dunno how though
Tascar
I used my main username which I first used in RS.
Trauter
That is something even i don't know.
Love Me
Red Roses in my garden :P
Heterozygous_old
A&P textbook, I guess.
Yuuki Asuna
um sao
TakuMii
My username rhymes with my actual name, and I guess I was having fun when I first made the name?
Anyways, I first used it on GBAtemp (a Nintendo-related forum) in 2009, and has since been my go-to name for cutesy and/or light-hearted games (and eventually, pretty much every game).

But recently, I've actually started to grow attached to the Japanese name 拓海 (takumi, translates into "open sea"), and have been using it for some VNs (voice-acted or otherwise) that require you to input a character name. There have been times where I felt the name "YayMii" was unfitting for the type of person I was, but other people have helped me realize that I was just being melodramatic and overly depressed... I'm past that now, but I still would not mind renaming myself to TakuMii if it weren't for the fact that other people have expressed a liking to my username :P
_sparky_
from the word "sparkle"
then a online friend of mine gave me the nickname sparky...

Lol, I always thought before, that Kimchi was something that would make my mouth burn on fire and would taste pretty bad when I was little .

But, I actually enjoyed Kimchi a lot when I actually tried it and I'm still loving it ^~^

oh the same case as Louis Cyphre ;)
but its Lucifer actually...
Tacky
In the past i've used the Username 'Takie' a lot and it originated from me typing out random syllables from the names of different friends and later on it moved on to people calling me a hipster and literally someone calling me a very 'Tacky' person, so there it is.
KazmiSain

RedKing
My name was simply a combination of things.

1. Fav Colour is Red
2. I have red hair so why not.
3. Mainly its suou mikoto from K Project. Was going to name myself ThirdKing but RedKing was available so i chose that :P
KagamiHRS
The username came from the following:
1. Kagami Hiiragi
2. Yui HiRaSawa
As for why, it's meant to roughly resemble my personality of either... And the HRS initials is for a sake of space.
raww_old
thought it sounded cool when I was making a warcraft 3 bnet account about 7 years ago, and I just stuck with it since, lol

Perfection

Kankri
I got my username from Touhou. :) (it's pretty obvious though.)
Laura Lovely
Cause I want a vegan world.
Dazdy_old
My original username and my name for most online games I play is Dazdalolz, which I just thought of myself. A friend on another game I play gave me the nickname Dazdy, so I decided to change my name to it.
Birdy
I just randomly came up with it 2,5 years ago on a random night. It sounded "really fresh" when I was 15. Thanks, me.

I guess I originally started using it as my new musical project's name, too, when I drifted away from Hardcore, Breakcore and all that unmusical stuff into stuff like Liquid Funk and Chillstep and later Downtempo and Ambient. Really soon when I was thinking about a name in here after getting my first supporter tag, I thought HEY why not. That's better than using like 5 different names around the web, like I do nowadays, huh.
Makaii

Lewd_old_1
My original username on here, Hysere, was a mixture of my name and a friend's, and I changed it to Lewd because it's a word we say a lot.
Top Bunk
My username originated from my 11 year old mind from 11 years ago and I've stuck with it everywhere I go. Just how much of a disturbed child was I to even come up with such a name? The world may never know. Oddly enough, it seems to be a common username for whatever reason (like seriously, type "Slasher" in the username search and tons of Slasher[#] names appear). I don't like numbers in names though, so on more populated sites I just tack on ZX to the end because those letter are rarely ever used.

...I need a username change at some point.
HaruryuuSan
Of all the Japanese names, I liked Haru. Harumi was suggested by a friend of mine. ^^
